(Reuters) - South Korean Kim Sei-young overcame a bogey at the 72nd hole to beat Carlota Ciganda on the first playoff hole at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan on Sunday.

Kim nailed a 109-yard approach shot from the left rough to barely three feet for a near tap-in birdie on the first extra hole, while Ciganda failed to get up-and-down for par after the Spaniard’s second shot finished over the 18th green at the Blythefield Country Club in Grand Rapids.

Kim, 23, clinched her fifth LPGA title, and her second victory this season, and improved her perfect playoff record to 3-0.
